Best Gamepad?

Hello everyone, I'm a new Mac user (sort of) - just picked myself up a 12" G4 PowerBook. I'm wondering if I can get a recommendation on which is the best gamepad/controller to use for gaming on my Mac? I'm looking for a Playstation/Xbox style controller. I've done a little research, and from what I am finding the NYKO Air Flo EX seems to be the most liked for Mac gamers. Is this true? Anything better out there? Thanks for the help. Cheers!

Are you looking for the most bells and whistles, or whatever is the best bang for your buck?

I think Logitech has a good set of gamepads out there, although nothing as fancy as the Nyko Air Flo with it's "sweaty palm-cooling" feature. I have been using the Logitech Dual Action Gamepad which has worked well with Halo; it isn't their most basic gamepad but yet is the most similar one to console gamepads. You can get fancier versions with rumble or cordless AND rumble, but in the end, just depends how much you want to spend. If it matters not that your gamepad is wireless, shakes in your hand, or dries them while you play, I would just get the Logitech Dual Action Gamepad.

yea, i'm not too worried about bells and whistles. i just want it to work reliably. the reviews i have read on apple.com don't say good things about the Logitech Dual Action Gamepad...

anyone else with any other suggestions?

Have you considered the Nostromo ? Depending on what are you going to play it may be more useful....
